Preparing For Installation

We require at least 1 metre from the inside of the window outwards to complete the job, if our installer feels there is not enough room and is unable to move your furniture, we will need to re-book the job.. This includes removal of any window furnishings that may reasonably interfere with installation, and any other physical obstructions to the glass, such as furniture, desks, computers, tv, washing machines, dryers and any other objects that may introduce additional difficulties to producing a high quality application.

What To Expect From Your Window Tinting Film

Once it has been applied to your glass, window films may have a slightly hazy or cloudy appearance. This is caused by the water used to apply the film and activate the adhesive. Over the first several weeks, this cloudy appearance will gradually disappear as the film dries, leaving your windows optically clear. A few small areas of residual water may remain, but will gradually dissipate through evaporation over the following weeks.

Installation Notes

Window film installation requires the use of water and a detergent solution to float the film onto the glass. The film is trimmed to size and then the excess water is squeegeed out. Invariably there is residual water that will develop visual haze and water pockets as this remaining moisture begins to evaporate. Do not be concerned, these apparent visual imperfections will slowly disappear as the film cures and should not be regarded as defects. Visual and adhesive cure times are directly related to the thickness of the film and the various metallic construction coatings of the film. The complete dry out time should occur within 30-60 days, however optical clarity will begin to improve several days after installation depending on the amount of sunlight, humidity and heat directed upon the window. Thicker, multi- layer or metallic protective films may take 30-60 days longer. *Do not clean the surface of the film during this drying period. Film Care & Maintenance After curing, a few small particles or points may remain. They are normally visible from the outside and are inherent to film adhesives. These points or light reflections do not affect the performance, durability or longevity of the film in any way.
To clean your window film, simply spray the surface with mild soapy water and wipe off gently with a soft cloth, chamois or soft rubber squeegee. Do not use abrasive style cloths, brushes, sponges or powders to clean your film. Do not use ammonia based glass cleaners or other strong chemicals. Your UltraGard dealer can also recommend commercially available window film cleaners or polishes that are safe and easy to use. Do not stick heavy or gummed signs, tape or attachments to the surface of the film. The barely visible light gap border around the edges ensures that the film is properly sealed and bonded to the glass. Do no pick at the edges of the film.

Cleaning And Care

Avoid cleaning your newly installed film for at least two weeks, until the film has had time to completely cure and fully bond to the glass. After this drying period your tinted windows can be cleaned by spraying with soapy water and wiping softly with a damp microfiber cloth, chamois or squeegee, ensure that all of the windows edges are thoroughly dried.

Never use abrasive cloths, brushes or ammonia based cleaning products.

The application of sticky tape, suction cups, stickers etc is strongly discouraged and may void the legitimacy of any potential warranty claim in the unlikely event of film failure.

Glass Breakage

Upon acceptance of the proposal provided by Aussie Window Tinting, the client acknowledges that no claim or blame shall be made against Aussie Window Tinting as a result of any fracture, fault or failure of the glass caused by faulty glazing, thermal stress, faults, scratches or blemishes in the glass and/or sub-standard frames or glass installation techniques. All of which the client accepts are due to pre-existing conditions which could not have been identified at the time of installation and are reasonably considered to be outside of Aussie Window Tinting’s control. In some cases, a glass audit may need to be carried out to ensure glass strength and integrity prior to recommendation of a suitable product.

Insurance Cover

It’s a good idea to notify your insurance company that you have had solar or security film applied to your glass/windows, so that in the event of accidental glass breakage, the cost of replacing the glass and the window film can be covered. Insurance companies generally do not charge additional premiums for this extra cover, but it’s a good idea to check with your particular insurer to be certain.
